This is weirdly revealing (Hat Tip Technofog).
In a court filing today by Special Counsel John Durham [pdf here] it’s noted that previously indicted Igor Danchenko, the primary sub-source for Christopher Steele’s fraudulent dossier against Donald Trump, is now represented by the same lawyers representing Hillary Clinton’s legal interests. John Durham is asking the court to evaluate the legal conflicts:
Why would the legal firm representing Hillary Clinton (to the Durham probe) step-in to represent Igor Danchenko in his criminal indictment?
The only logical reason would be for Danchenko to represent a legal risk to the interests of Hillary Clinton, likely through the direct association between Hillary Clinton and Charles Dolan, Danchenko’s collaborator and the liaison to Chris Steele from the Clinton campaign.
As a result of the Durham indictment, we know Igor Danchenko was working closely with Democrat Party public relations executive Charles Dolan to funnel the fabricated source material to Chris Steele. The Clinton team’s communication and contact with Charles Dolan would represent a legal risk to Hillary Clinton.
If Charles Dolan and Hillary Clinton were in communication, it seems like that would be the motive for Clinton’s lawyers to want to control Danchenko’s legal status and any statements to John Durham or the court. More than likely, the people in/around Hillary Clinton are the ones paying the law firm to represent Igor Danchenko.
That woman’s lawyers are getting busier! Should be an interesting year
No kidding! Battle on two fronts this week. Keeping Epstein’s babe from singing like in bird in court and now a second front has opened up in Russiagate. What next? The missing servers appear?
Must be why she’s been shaking the bushes to see if any change falls out for her foundation.
What’s next? Dual Arkancide?
list of people she lawyer’d up:
1) Imran Awan
2) Seth Rich
3) Igor Danchenko
She still will never get what she has coming (in life)..
And from the looks of things, time is running out…..
Several persons, including Pelosi, will never get what’s coming (in life).
Well WE THE PEOPLE can and should mete out that justice
Some people will be acquiring a fatal dose of the Obamacron. If someone hasn’t already. The covid has been perfect cover for the FIB to clean-up loose ends.
So Igor Danchenko’s new lawyers can do all in their power to protect Hillary Clinton, even if it means selling Igor Danchenko down the proverbial river…
Well, Danchenko must be ok with that.
He gets to live, doesn’t he?
You read my mind.
“You vil have this lawyer and you vil like him”
They made him an offer he couldn’t refuse.
And it’s also grounds for disbarment.
This also implies to me that Danchenko conspired with Hillary and her comrads.
Probably also means Putin OK’d it– the Steele Dossier.
The Russian Danchenko simply wouldn’t get THIS involved helping one candidate in a US Presidential election without the express permission of Vladamir Putin.
We do similar things to other countries, certainly Russia. And, most assuredly, our operatives do have the permission of high level people in the US Govt and The President would have to be in that chain of command.
The Russian involvement, IMO, although unsavory, is standard fare. In the 1930s, the Soviets even boldly ran communist party usa candidates for president.
So… this IMO is just dirty campaign politics that our CIA, FBI,
NSA should expect and nip in the bud. It is their job to protect Presidential Candidates and The President from these kinds of eneny foreign attacks. Instead of protecting President Trump, they conspired with enemy foreign govts and operatives to harm the sitting US President.
These controlling operatives inside our US Govt agencies are truly textbook seditious traitors. Extremely dangerous.
It’s so difficult to explain Sessions, Barr, many. The pieces are coming together more for us but Barr had to know this a long time ago. Many had to know this a long time ago.
I read somewhere both Sessions and Barr intentionally took no action because following the law would have so badly damaged the nation they thought the risk was to high. Further, that had they started up the chain of all of the criminal co-conspirators, the Kenyan himself would have been charged and that they thought was something the nation couldn’t recover from. I don’t agree. The Kenyan is a criminal and should be tried for treason.
Well hell’s bells…look at us now…
Talk about damaged…they are both cowards.
What ever happened to no one is above the law?
she has always meant no one (but me)
So instead they let President Trump be framed by the FBI and DOJ for a crime that never even happened just to protect Obama! I totally agree with you.
Maybe grounds for disbarment in another universe. But not the D.C. Bar. The same one that didn’t even suspend Klinesmith’s license for altering documents presented to the FISC.
You spelled Klownsmith incorrectly…….
Danchenko is not a russian. he is NO ONE Putin would ever employ, honor, respect, speak to, or touch.
There was a lawyer or law firm that represented one of those “russians” when then acting AG Rosenstein did that grand presentation of telling the world the DOJ had indicted a bunch of Russian hackers for messing with the US election, and that lawyer’s responses to the Court were very funny, and bold in their humor, since it appears the people (memory says it was a bakery or deli) indicted had not even been in business at the time the supposed interference had occurred.
Obviously it was a law firm willing to point out the absurd.
It would be fun to see that lawyer take on being this Igor Danchenko as a client, someone like that, not affiliated with Clinton and her crew, would be fun to watch.
Igor Danchenko Now Represented by Hillary Clinton Lawyers
…which is only fitting since the DOJ prosecutors are also Hillary Clinton lawyers.
As is the judge.
“At this point, what possible difference…”
Circle the wagons, eh Hillary?
Easy to do when you OWN all the wagons.
…and the Indians!
This has got to be the reason she is again floating balloons about running again.
If she can drag this out a few more months, then announce she is running, the DOJ will shut Durham down claiming they just cannot investigate a political campaign.
Memories foggy, but didn’t that very same thing come up in 2016.
I thought it was about her emails or some such where things got very quiet before the election.
There are other instances as well, but I don’t recall the details.
Bottom line is that investigations of politicians on the left are kept very quiet before an election, whereas anyone on the right from county clerk on up are fair game.
She won’t run against Biden. Unless he steps down.
I doubt Biden makes it through this term… IMO, the 25th amendment will be used.
They investigated both Hillary and Trump in 2016.
Lol
There is a difference between Trumps colonoscopy and shooting hills temp with a digital thermometer from 10 feet.
Stop the childish BS
This is interesting. I’m reminded of legendary DC litigator/power broker Edward Bennett Williams once advising a corporate audit committee to back a strategy: “let’s keep everyone inside the tent, pissing out.”
From the pleading [thank you for the link], while this unidentified “separate lawyer” at the law firm had already entered an appearance on behalf of the Clinton Campaign [how else would Durham know?], the law firm is asserting that this other lawyer had not previously had any involvement in the Danchenko case and will create what is known as an ethical wall separating knowledge between the two cases.
Durham is following his obligation to call the potential conflict to the Court’s attention, and the Court’s obligation to inquire of the defendant his willingness to waive conflicts, but he also signals what we should all expect to happen – that the firm will represent both. Durham gives his blessing in advance by concluding: “Notwithstanding the potential conflicts involved, the government believes that this potential conflict is waivable, should the defendant so choose, assuming a knowing, intelligent and voluntary waiver is executed.”
I’m not sure how Covington & Burling’s email and billing records about its representation of General Flynn, or Perkins Coie’s email and billing records about Sussman’s billing his lies to the HRC campaign became public, but I hope those of Shertler Onorato Meed & Sears’ records someday become equally public.
I believe it is not just relevant if HRC’s lawyer had prior involvement in the Danchenko matter as Durham details, but whether Danchenko’s lawyer had prior involvement in the HRC representation (likely, in my view).
Legal ethics in these matters seems to have conveniently ignored the financial aspects of law firms, i.e., whether lawyers on either side of an ethical wall share in income from the conflicted client, and in any event share in the benefits of more clients in other ways.
The annual “Partner’s bonus,”certainly at C&B, is usually quite substantial and it is shared among the partners.
The problem is that Danchenko DID agree to use Hillary’s lawyers even though so many other excellent lawyers exist within a 1000 feet of C&B. Danchenko must be guilty. The lawyers for both want and need to control the narrative.
I so want to trust Durham… and what Durham wrote isn’t all that surprising because the accused has the right to choose his own lawyer. We’ll see what happens. 🙄
Technofog’s main point was that the 2016 Hillary Clinton Campaign is now a target of the Grand Jury.
hillary has dirt.
hillary is kept on a leash with the Obama play.
Obama stole PDJT’s special prosecutor with the election steal in 2024
Hillary is using her techniques to find out the leverage Obama is putting over her, to keep her out of his way as his team surrenders America.

Igor Danchenko WOULD NEVER be allowed to work for Putin. the Russians that were killed in 2016 were alias McCabes team used to surveil Americans. fake russia aliases to use FISAs as a cover to do POLITICAL ESPIONAGE ‘by the book’
Wow… you just cannot make this s— up. Clownworld on steroids.
As usual, all roads lead back to Hillary (and my bet is on Sid Blumenthal).
Don’t forget Hill’s longtime BFF Strobe Talbott. He was head of Brookings where/when Danchenko was employed; also, the lovely Fiona Hill. That’s the clue that tells me it was those two “experts” that had the bright idea to make this a “Russian” collusion as BOTH Talbott and Hill speak fluent Russian! Nobody else does, besides Igor obviously, but they — the FBI, the media and the whole Democrat political apparatus — went along for the ride. Screw the country.
Hillary and Bill were pictured looking dreadfully out of place on the beach at East Hampton last summer, at the same time current Sec’y of State Tony Blinken was there when the Afghanistan situation was tumbling down. Talbott has decamped from DC with his new wife (first wife, Derek and Cody Shearer’s sister, Brooke, died several yrs ago) to the Hamptons. He had a book-signing there for his volume trashing Donald Trump by comparing him to Thomas Jefferson et al. Let’s be fair: how about comparing Hillary Clinton’s diplomatic career as US Secretary of State to that of Thomas Jefferson?
And I would bet Cody Shearer as well.
Mcabes play on team Hillary. was TAKEN OVER by Obama and Comey’s play once pdjt looked likely to win.
Lets Go Crooked
Vince Foster says Hello.
The deep state is loyal to 0bama who wants Hillary taken out. That is the only reason Durham still exists.
BINGO!!!
I have been preaching that for months, surgical removal of a cancerous lump of excrement.
Could be, but I keep thinking the whole Durham thing is a “Lucy pulling the football away from Charlie Brown”. Hopeful people wanting truth and justice are Charlie Brown. Lucy, representing The Swamp, gets to laugh and mock.
Danchenko must figure if Hillary has been able to get off scot-free all these years, then her lawyers must be amazing. Why go shopping for some rando attorney when you already know who can keep you out of prison? Maybe Danchenko is smarter than we thought!
Maybe, but can Hillary’s lawyers keep him out of a coffin? Especially since they will know if he has any dirt on Hillary long before Durham’s prosecutors will.
Possibly to claim Privilege on all communications and work product? After arguments, if the Judge grants the Privilege then probably very little to nothing would have to be produced.
In the big picture, Hillary Clinton means as much to Obama as the Cuomo Family!
I recall that way back in-the-day, the Feds couldn’t get Al Capone at all, despite all of his murderous, violent, evil pursuits, even though there were tons of evidence about his and his evil empire. THEN, Feds…(at the time) got the S.O.B. on Tax Evasion.
I wonder if this situation with Durham is drifting along the same way…
Hillary should have already been hung for TREASON!!!
Perhaps a Mob war between the Clinton and Obama organized crime syndicates?
Durham thankfully is asking the court to investigate whether this representation is a conflict of interest. That is a stark contrast to when the FBI/DoJ were just fine with Beth Wilkinson representing Hillary plus her whole cabal during the cover-up of Hillary’s illegal use of an unsecured private server for government communications, and other espionage matters.
Clinton’s lawyers will represent Hillary, and merely control Danchenko, guaranteeing he will not cut a deal to spill the beans. This sort of thing denies Danchenko independent legal representation of HIS interests, and should be forbidden by the court. If the court allows this, the fix is still in.
I wonder if the recent, obviously orchestrated, media campaign pretending Hillary will run in 2024 is driven by her need to raise funds for defending herself, her cronies, and pawns, from Durham.
I’m still expecting very little… Trading a few process crimes for the IC going after a sitting president is one hell of a bargain.
We’ve moved the focus from any government accountability into the private realm… That alone is damn impressive!
Like never before would anyone actually choose to be with HER—>
Danchenko mockingly laughed at bigwigs in the U.S.
He’s about to find out what happens when a bigwig here gets in deep trouble and someone who laughed and thought they were untouchable suddenly gets the urge to swing from their necktie.
When the Right to Counsel in a conspiracy (multiple defendants having the same law firm) meets a Special Prosecutor.
If this is allowed, we will see in all future Special Prosecutors cases the involvement of one law firm only.
Igor Danchenko, may he Rest In Peace? 🤦♀️
I cannot wait for this woman to be exposed to the Dems who revere her as as the corrupt liar she is……so far she’s been like Teflon…but Durham is tightening the rope…..
Gomer Pyle would say “Surprise, Surprise, Surprise”, but no one else would be surprised in the least.
